It is such common sense as to be undeniable that basic journalism requires a party label to be affixed to a story about an elected public official, the president excepted. It is the DNA of the “who” in a news report. “Senator Robert Byrd, the Democratic senator from West Virginia, died today.” Take out “Democratic” and try that sentence. It doesn’t work. “Mike Lee, GOP senator from Utah and God’s gift to mankind, coasted to reelection last night.” Ditto.

It follows that the rule applies to stories about political scandal, precisely because it’s just that — politics. But what happens when that cardinal rule is applied to one party but ignored for the other? Favoritism? Bias? No, it’s far worse than just that. It is a commitment to abide by the rules of journalism with one party and then a deliberate attempt to protect the other, even if it means violating the most basic rules of news reporting.

FoxNews apologized for their error, as posted below. Which has nothing to do with the intentional effort by most of the liberal media to cover up for Democrats while showcasing any Republican malfeasance.

Note to jayrad1957: Do you plan on chastising worryfree for his namecalling? Since, apparently, he didn't read your post?

TD, I am keeping up. This is not the first time these things have happened. I was trying to remind you and others that your side of the media divide played these games as well. No liberal fallacy there. Just facts.

As I posted in another topic, the name calling gets us no where. If you notice I didn't call the conservative magazine any kind of derogatory name. Try that yourself sometime.
